That's interesting; I tend to agree with the crowd that wishes Rails didn't do any kind of auto-loading.

But are you suggesting that you need to add a kind of basic auto-loading to Sinatra to keep things sane?

Rails autoloading "just happens". If you're doing explicitly require/require_relative, even on the results of Dir.glob(), the application explicitly specifies what will be loaded, and when. For my part I find that much cleaner.
